Hello everyone!! It's time to share some Faery Ink inspiration with you today. This month we are continuing our focus on Christmas, and as you have seen throughout the start of the month, Amanda has drawn some more stunning images for all your holiday creations.

For my project this month, I chose to play with Holiday Hair Gabbie. I colored her with my Copics. I used the following color combos:

Hair: YR30, E40, YR31, E43, E44 with a hint of E47

Face: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R21

Eyes: E43, E44

Wrap: C0, C2

Reds: R27, R29, R46, R39, RV99

Greens: YG63, YG67, YG93, YG95, YG97

Golds: Y15, Y17, Y26,Y28

I also added some sparkle with Sakura and Atyou Spica pens.

Image is cut with die from my stash, designer paper is from Cloud 9 Design. I chose this fabulous two toned ribbon lying in my stash and tied a loose knot in it. I tore a piece of Core-dinations cardstock and added my clear stamp sentiment. Ornament dimensional sticker is also from my stash.

Sure hope you like my entire creation as well and hopefully it has given you some inspiration. Make sure that you visit the Faery Ink Shop to see all the wonderful images there, especially all this month's New Releases!!

Happy Saturday to everyone! Life has been busy here, hope it is going well for all of you out in blogland. Happy news today is that almost a year after we moved, our old house has FINALLY sold as of 12pm EST yesterday. We are so relieved and excited, but honestly, mostly just relieved. The past 4-6 weeks had been incredibly stressful and hopefully that stress will ease up a bit now.

We have a NEW CHALLENGE for you over at DI’S DIGI DESIGNS and it is TIC TAC TOE - just use the board below and use any 3 across, down or diagonal on your creation to come play along. Di has tons of images that will fit this challenge perfectly. You have until 11:55pm EST on Friday, November 20 to come join the fun. Remember, you don’t need to use an image from DI'S DIGI STAMPS to play along, but if you do, you have a chance to win 2 images from DI'S DIGI STAMPS in addition to a chance at the sponsor prize.

I decided to go with a Fall/Autumn theme this time around. I chose the middle row from the Tic Tac Toe board - die cuts, digi, hand colored image. I used one of the newest images from DI’S DIGI STAMPS "Harvest Hedgehogs." Image is colored with Copics and cut out with Avery Elle die. Sentiment is from Scrappy Moms and cut with Sizzix die. DP is Doodlebug Designs. Stickers are from my stash. I also used ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and circle shaped die cuts done with Tattered Lace dies. I sure hope you like it and will come play along!!

I took the perimeters of this challenge quite literally on all parts of my card and coloring. I chose the image Octavia Moonfly Wistful, which is available as a single image (both black and white and colored versions are included) or you can get her as part of Octavia Moonfly Big Kahuna Digital Craft Bundle, which is where I got my image. Image is colored in mostly sepia tones with highlights of orange and red using my Copics for all of the image. Image is cut out with Nestie.
